The much-hyped magic show is a flop, as people walk out of the auditorium before the show ends.
Discussions abound backstage later, “I spent ten years of my life learning the tricks, so you can’t discredit me with non-performance.”
A senior from the audience places his hand on the distraught young man’s shoulder, “It’s not just about smooth execution. It’s about knowing the pulse of the audience, researching the keywords and charming them into believing you are Supremo.”
“Are you in politics, Sir?”

The senior had it right, as did the young magician!
Fun Six!

Good comparison: A magician is like a politician.

Maybe a politician is someone who just learnt a few tricks.
